[p2pu-dev] Notes from Community Call - 25th August 2011

Sat Aug 27 20:27:59 UTC 2011

Very nice ideas. We can even explore how it feels to have 2 levels of
interaction with the carousel. At first it shows schools, and when the user
clicks over one of them, a quick list of thumbs from the courses of that
school shows up in place. It might make the process school > course > action
faster.
